Abstract
Quality assurance systems of academic programs necessitate a continuous improvement process. In this process the program outcomes should be measured and assessed using a sound assessment technique. The results of the evaluation of the outcomes should then be used to develop and improve the program. Continuous assessment of the curricula outcomes is considered the cornerstone of the continuous improvement process. Previous works have presented a framework to assess and evaluate the ABET general outcomes of engineering programs. These frameworks are universal for all engineering disciplines, but they are not tailored for assessing the outcomes of a specific subject. The purpose of this paper is to assist the instructors of electric machinery courses to assess and evaluate the outcomes related to these courses. A framework has been constructed based on a rubric system for each expected outcome of the machinery courses. The suggested assessment levels are designed according to Bloom's taxonomy.
